1. INTRODUCTION

This manual contains information about configuration IS1000 laser reader and decoder present

in the radio base.

The installation procedures and technical description are described in the IS1000 Installation

and User’s Guide.

The IS1000 Connection List contains the connection numbers (or ID) and the cable references

to be used for Keyboard-Wedge communication on PCs and terminals, for communication with

P.O.S. systems and Notebooks. For other types of connections see chapter 2, Communication

Modes.

IS1000 – Configuration Guide

Once the radio base is powered on, each parameter value can be changed simply by scanning,

with the laser reader, the codes appearing in this manual with respect to configuration sequence.

Chapter 2 Page 5

Chapter 3 Page 21

Chapter 4 Page 47

Chapter 5 Page 53

Chapter 6 Page 55

There is no need to adjust all the parameters. Change only the ones concerning your application.

Unchanged parameters will keep their previous value.

The parameter values are stored in a non-volatile memory called EEPROM and are saved when

the radio base is turned off.

1.1. Default Configuration (factory setting)

When shipped from the factory, each IS1000 is configured with default parameter values

as follows:

Default Configuration

Communication Mode

RS232 mode:

- 9600 bps

- Even parity

- 7 data bits

- 1 stop bit

- CR/LF end of message characters

Symbology

Code 39, Code 128, EAN 128, UPC/EAN, Interleaved 2/5,

Monarch/Codabar

Radio 433 MHz – Channel 3

Operating Mode

- Simple acknowledgment mode

- Timer 1 = 200 ms

- Timer 2 = 3 s

- Timer 3 = 2 s

- Number of re-transmissions = 3

Buzzer High volume

These are the main parameters, please check the sections of this manual which concern

your application.

The default value of each parameter appears like this:

The text below the code is framed and ended by the sign * to indicate the default value.

At any time, the default values of all the parameters can be set by scanning this code:

The reading of this code will turn all parameters to their default value.

2. COMMUNICATION MODES

The radio base is equipped with a decoder offering a multi-interface communication port.

The default communication mode is RS232 (9600 baud, 7 data bits, parity even, 1 stop bit, end

message: CR LF).

Other communication modes can be selected by using the following sequence:

2.1.5. End of Message Character

One character can be systematically transmitted with each code to indicate the

end of message:

Other characters or complete fields can be added to the message using the

Preamble / Postamble function (see appendix 6.3, page 58) or the Editing Mode

(see chapter 5, page 53).

2.1.6. Time-Out Between Characters

In case that errors are detected using high speed transmissions such as 19200 or

38400 baud and if two stop bits are already set, a time-out can be inserted

between each character for a better synchronization:

100 ms

2.1.7. ACK/NAK Protocol

Once this protocol is activated, the decoder waits for an acknowledgment from the

host system:

• ACK (06 hexa) means: message correctly received by the host system.

• NAK (15 hexa) means: message incorrectly received by the host, upon

reception of this character the decoder resends the

message.

2.1.8. XON/XOFF Protocol

Using this protocol, the host system can control the data flow coming from the

decoder:

• XON (11 hexa) means: host system ready to receive data.

• XOFF (13 hexa) means: host system busy, the decoder stops the transmission

and waits for an XON.

2.1.9. RTS/CTS Protocol

This protocol is a hardware "handshake" between the decoder and the host

system. Before transmitting data, the decoder rises its RTS signal (pin 4) to +10

volt and waits for a +10 volt signal on its CTS (pin 5) from the host. The rest

position of the two pins is -10 volt.

2.1.10. PC-Term Mode

Some applications use several RS232 terminals connected to a PC host system

configured in PC-Term mode. When a character is typed on a keyboard of a

terminal, its scan code value is transmitted to the PC instead of its ASCII value.

Then, upon reception, the PC sends back the corresponding ASCII character to

display on the screen.

Therefore, once this mode is activated, the decoder sends the scan code value of

each character read.

To activate the PC-Term mode, read this code and adjust the RS232 parameters

using page 6 to 10. It is advised to insert a time-out of 50 ms between each

character when baud rate is over 9600 baud (see page 9).

Upper/lower case characters and the type of numeric characters can be adjusted

using page 14 and 15.

Keyboard layout style can be selected using the Bar Code Pad page 12, without

reading the code Keyboard-Wedge Mode Activated.

2.2. Keyboard-Wedge

In this mode the radio base is connected between the keyboard and the computer (or

terminal). Data is emulated by the decoder as if it was typed on the keyboard.

The default communication mode (factory setting) is RS232, use the codes on this page to

activate the Keyboard-Wedge mode and to select the ID corresponding to your computer

or terminal:

Consult the IS1000 Connection List and enter the ID

corresponding to your computer or terminal using this Bar Code Pad
